ova/ovftool-options
Defines any additional command line options to pass to ansible for playbooks
This Param defines a set of standard options to inject in to an OVFTool OVA deployment. This is provided as a Param, in the event that these need to be altered in the field.
Warning
To add ADDITIONAL flags, do not use this Param, use the Param
ova/ovftool-extra-options
.
This Param should:
- use properly formatted
ovftool
options - MUST not repeat any existing options built up by the Task
- do not include ANY newlines in the options
- options should be separated by a single white space
By default, this Param sets these values:
--acceptAllEulas --allowAllExtraConfig --allowExtraConfig --X:noPrompting --X:connectionReconnectCount=5
Note
If the operator uses this Param, and would like to retain these values, you must also add them in addition to your extra options.
Warning
Removing the --acceptAllEulas
flag is an EXTREMELY BAD idea.
OVA deployment without this option will cause OVFTool to interactively
ask Y/N - repeatedly. Real world impact has generated 1.1 BILLION
requests, which filled up a 47 GB job-log file and filled the DRP
backing filesystem. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
As an alternative for command line option parsing, see the Param
ova/ovaftool-deploy-more-mapping-template
- which is a MUCH more
advanced use case alternative.
